Weird vibe

[jessicao]

My days have this vibe to them that feels like the kind of vibe you experience in a nightmare. Just this over all feeling that something is wrong, eerie, creepy, or just off. Especially after I wake from a nap. Anyone else?

I have this exact feeling often. It's from anxiety. I describe it as "feeling like I'm in a horror movie".

Yes!! I've used that exact same description

[HearYou]

Have PTSD which includes horrible nightmares that my husband wakes me from several times almost every night. I started taking a blood pressure med even though I do not have a blood pressure problem. It is used by the VA for military PTSD nightmares.

Well, it's helping me a great deal. But on nights when I don't remember a nightmare, when I wake in the morning I feel as though I had one. A bit like having a finely woven spider web covering me....not scarey, just something that I wish wasn't draping me. It goes away after I just accept maybe I had a nightmare but the med is working.

I started having this exact feeling youre describing a few weeks ago and it hasn't gone away which scares me to death. I feel like I might actually be dead and in hell. When I think of my life before this happened or my memories they have the same dark weird vibe to them, like it wasn't my life or something or a different life. things that where once so normal to me suddenly feel strange and terrifying. places that I visit all the time have such a different vibe to it, so unfamiliar, like ive never been there before. I just want me back.. do you have any idea what this is?

Hi! I'm so sorry you're dealing with this as well. You explained exactly how I've felt too. It's awful but I think it's part of derealization due to stress or trauma. Did anything happen before this started ?

I have been having a horrible time with memories popping up and having this terrible feeling attached to them, even though I know I was happy then.

yes I did, my ex boyfriend has been harassing and stalking me for over a year now but the last couple months it just got really out of hand, ive had friends ditch me because of him, my dad being agressive towards me.. do you also feel the worst when you've just woken up? i can relate to what you told me about the memories popping up. im remembering the weirdest things from childhood with the strangest feelings attached to them. I really hate this. I just wish there was a way to get back to feeling like my normal self again

Yes it's worse throughout the day and then at night it's sometimes a bit of a relief. I'm so sorry you've been dealing with all of that. I'm guessing that it has triggered a major stress response in you and this is your minds way of dealing with it.

Have you spoken to your doctor about this??

[Hidden in reply to jessicao]

I did, he said its derealization because of all the things ive been through. He referred me to a psychiatrist. im still scared that it might be something more though.
